Fucked Up Share ‘California Cold’

B-Side To ‘Year Of The Hare’ 12″ Single

Every year or so, the absolutely fucking awesome Fucked Up release a new 12″ single in their ongoing Zodiac series. Every single one features long, experimental tracks inspired by the years of the Chinese calender (last year’s was Year of the Dragon). This time round sees them release the 20 minute ‘Year of the Hare’, while it’s b-side is the nearly 8 minute ‘California Cold’. For a sense of scale, this single is longer than the entire upcoming Joanna Gruesome Peanut Butter LP, which clocks in at 22 minutes in total. They’re out on tour in the not too distant future. You fucking got to see them. We’ll be catching them at Primavera.
